Have you seen the new logo for our Mwanza partnership? The logo incorporates the iconic Bismarck Rock, a popular landmark located on the shores of Lake Victoria, and a fishing boat to reference the city's history and industry. The purple color ties into the Mwanza flat-headed rock agama - the male lizards have brightly colored purple-to-red upper bodies. 

TGA hosted 6 professionals through the U.S. State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program. This program aimed to connect Americans across the country with young European leaders - and introduce these European leaders to the innovative ways Americans are working to address political, economic, and social issues at the federal, state, and local levels.

TGA is honored to be included in Vision Tulsa 2025, a publication of Tulsa City Council and the City of Tulsa. Copies are available at select locations, including City Hall and Tulsa International Airport, but you can enjoy the digital edition here.
